Are you an academic? These job types are attempts by administration to precarize academic work.
Adjunct is a last resort option, you can still stay in the system but have very little prospect of ever getting a permanent job. It signals to others that the uni doesn’t really want you but takes your labour if you work hard and cheap enough. Some universities try to pivot into this, so that most of their staff loses negotiation power and is easy to get rid of and replace.
Visiting is code for limited contract or unpaid locally with funding from somewhere else. The university doesn’t complain if they get free labour with no strings attached, but it’s not like the majority of people do this out of choice. Sure, if you’re full prof somewhere, your can also visit your bro in a nice city for a semester, but that’s the exception.

- Comment on I took a picture of the back of my pizza box for you guys just in case you were stuck home because of the snow and needed something to do. 1 week ago:
Hm, instructions unclear but I guess if you eat the whole pizza you already covered 72% of your recommended daily fat intake. OTOH, at 1320 kcal you still need ~500-900 kcal. Is that the correct answer?
